So!

I jumped on the latest craze to hit the beauty scene - the beauty balm, also known as "BB cream".

Created
by a German dermatologist in the early 1960's, popularized in Japan and
Korea, and currently making a wave in the Western markets.

Beauty balms have been a hit with many because it promises to replace many of the cosmetics we use on a day to day basis.

My usual beauty routine consisted of purchasing jar after jar of Bare Minerals, a popular line of mineral-based makeup.

And for years, it's worked for me.

But recently , I decided to change my routine, and so I purchased my very first beauty balm from

I picked this one up because I have a bit of dryness and I'm forever in search of a dewy, luminous glow.

This cream is a bit thick and to apply, I put on a little at a time to create more coverage, so it's definitely buildable.

It smells a little like sunscreen but the scent fades away once applied.

Here's Too Faced description:

What it is:A multi-benefit BB cream that tints, primes, nourishes, prevents, and protects skin in one easy step.

What it does:This
innovative cream offers both makeup and skincare benefits in one
effortless step. Achieve better-than-real looking skin today and
healthier skin long term by using this antiaging, multi-mineral complex
that promotes cell health, strengthens skin's elasticity, and enhances
luminosity. This versatile tinted skin perfector instantly delivers
oil-free hydration and primes the skin while protecting with a
chemical-free SPF 20 UVA/UVB broad-spectrum sunscreen. Wear any of the
shades alone or under foundation to achieve your ideal level of luminous

B.B. Creams were originally developed as a perfect post-procedure cream
used to treat, hydrate, prime, protect, and camouflage the skin. Great

“five-in-one” formulas are designed to do it all: treat with high levels
of active skin care ingredients; moisturize and smooth dehydrated skin;

last step for their skincare benefits or used on their own as an instant
beautifier.

You might like this if :

You like a Light shimmer on your face

You are okay with light coverage

You have combination/dry skin

You prefer glowy/dewy skin

You are looking for a quick and easy routine

You might dislike this if:

You don't like shimmer on your face

You are prone to oily skin

You want heavier coverage

You prefer matte

Would I repurchase?

Nope. Way too pricey and this formula is not something "out of this world".

Although it did provide a nice glow it kind of feels like I'm

wearing shimmery tinted moisturizer, it covered up a bit but not as much as I would've liked.

But
I definitely will be checking out this kit, exclusive to Sephora with
an introduction kit of favorite beauty balms samples! I'll continue my
search for the perfect balm!
